Research area
With more than two hundreds researchers, LML focuses on the following research area :
* Mechanical reliability and
Tribology ; applications on brakes
*
Fluid mechanics ;
Turbulence ;
Turbo machines
*
Civil engineering ;
Soil mechanics
Equipment and facilities
The laboratory has heavy investigation equipment in its 3 research areas. These machines include a 20 meters long wind tunnel to study fluid mechanics, a multi-axis tensile test machine, to study mechanical behavior of complex materials and a micro-scale fatigue machine to study material life cycle.
Computations run thanks to a calculation cluster (HPC) composed of 288 cores.

Boussinesq approximation (water waves)
In fluid dynamics, the Boussinesq approximation for water waves is an approximation valid for weakly non-linear and fairly long waves. The approximation is named after Joseph Boussinesq, who first derived them in response to the observation by ...
